NICE have released a position statement outlining their view on the use of AI methods in the generation and reporting of evidence considered by its evaluation programmes.
The statement aims to accomplish the following:
- outline what NICE expects when AI methods are considered or used for evidence generation and reporting
- indicate existing regulations, good practices, standards and guidelines to follow when using AI methods, where appropriate
- support our committee members and external assessment groups to understand and critique the potential uses of AI methods.
NICE have acknowledged the likelihood of increasing use or consideration of AI in evidence generation and reporting in the near future.
Please note: This statement relates to the potential use of AI in the generation and reporting of evidence considered by NICE. It does not consider the evaluation of health technologies that use AI methods to perform their function (AI-enabled technologies).
You can find the position statement here.
